    Vacuum sealing baits

    The longer you leave them sealed, the longer that take to wake up. I've had them in a freezer bag in the fridge sealed for three weeks and they have taken twenty-four hours to come round. They last better if they are clean and dry before bagging.

    Sweet or Savoury

    I regularly blank with both, so my opinion counts for nothing 😥.

    Had some real rain in last couple of days and the Yorkshire rivers are up by a decent amount for the first time this season. So will be out with enthusiasm today. Don't mean I'll catch owt !

    I've got some cheese paste like that Tim. Hate to think how many times it's been in and out of the freezer.

    "Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing" New Series

    Was a bit disappointed last night. Thought it was no where near as entertaining as the earlier series.

    What's the forecast.

    Dead right Dave, the BBC are saying 20% chance of light rain, the met office 50%. And it's 100% raining as I type thus.😥

    What's the forecast.

    Good afternoon everyone, or is it ? I don't mind it raining when I'm fishing, but like to have an idea what is forecast before choosing when to go. I have apps for BBC weather and The Met Office. On every day this week they have been completely different. One would say only 10% chance of rain...

    Weight of Korum fast mat and supa lite fast mat

    This is mine, two Velcro straps keep it closed for carrying and there is a big net pocket on the back. Great for tight spots, steep backs of when moving swims.

    Weight of Korum fast mat and supa lite fast mat

    It's not actually a chair, it folds flat for carrying and has a base and back with adjustable straps to alter the angle. Wish I knew how to transfer the image from Go Outdoors.

    Weight of Korum fast mat and supa lite fast mat

    Have a look at Eurohike chair at Go Outdoors. They are on offer for less than a tenner. Great in tight swims or steep banks. Very light and portable.
